Nora was visiting friends in Dublin for a weekend when she met Jason in a pub. “This was just before Valentine’s Day, so on Valentine’s Day, he asked me to visit again. From then on, we travelled between Helsinki and Dublin to see each other. In 2015, we had our beautiful daughter Ellie and made the move to Helsinki!"

We are massive fans of Nora's undone updo, which was taken to the next level with some fresh flowers!

Nora and Jason’s daughter Ellie is defying the laws of cuteness! And it looks like she had an absolute ball being a flower girl with her cousins.

Gah! We just love the suspense and butterflies that go along with a first look!

Didn't we tell you that these guys are seriously loved-up!?

The delicate lace on the bodice of Nora's wedding dress is just so pretty (and a little bit sexy!) It's by Romanian brand Divine Atelier.

How dreamy are these purple blooms!? Nora explains, “As Mount Juliet is such a beautiful place, we wanted to enhance that with natural flowers that matched the look of midsummer.”

Jason’s proposal was quintessentially Irish - cosy and intimate but still really romantic! “As I love Irish manor houses, Jason surprised me with a stay in Coopershill House, Co. Sligo, and proposed there in front of the fireplace that evening. I said yes!”

When it came time to plan the wedding, the couple decided on a short-but-sweet guest list. “We wanted to keep the numbers small so we could enjoy the day with our loved ones,” Nora says. The couple quickly set their priorities as “good food, wine and music.”

We are loving these mix-and-match bridesmaids dresses! What a cool look! Nora says that getting ready with her bridesmaids was one of her favorite parts of the day. “My closest friends all travelled over from Finland and I had a special morning getting ready with them in the bridal suite.”

From the beginning, Nora and Jason had a sophisticated soirée in mind for their big day. “We wanted to have an elegant party for adults, with a warm, relaxed atmosphere.”

We don't think we've ever seen a more smitten-looking groom than Jason in this photo! This is what it's all about, guys!

Nora and Jason tell us that they were instantly charmed by their venue, Mount Juliet. “It provided us with intimate and elegant surroundings,” Nora says. “We wanted to have the whole day in the manor house, and not in a marquee. Mount Juliet estate is stunning and we knew that all our friends would have a lovely stay there, and that the ones travelling from Finland would see Ireland at its best!”

Nora’s advice for engaged couples is refreshingly sensible! “Allow plenty of time to plan the day,” she says. “Book a venue that you love and that feels special. Choose suppliers that match your personal style. And try your best to take in every moment of the day!” Yep, that about sums it up!

The couple went to Dubrovnik in Croatia for two weeks for their honeymoon. Any readers out there thinking of Croatia? It’s one of our fave European honeymoon spots!

Having the speeches on the Mount Juliet stairs looks like so much fun! Thanks so much to Nora and Jason for sharing their magical day with us, and, of course, to Leanne Keaney for letting us pour over her lovely photographs.
